Happy First Sunday of The New Year Everyone. For more great Sunday Sketches, you can head over to Sophia's place. Please join us if you'd like ~ it's lots of fun! This is a new piece I worked on yesterday and today, inspired yet again by another very talented artist JessieLilac over at the Purple Tree bird. Jessie did a picture for the winter solstice, and I loved the pose, so I tried to put my own spin on it here. If you haven't seen Jessie's work, head over and take a look, she is a fabulous artist.I am planning on framing this for my living room. I am always the most contented when wrapped in my sweetie's arms and it is there that I find my bliss. I still have some detail work to add to this but I'm excited to frame it and hang it on the wall!
Looking forward to seeing what everyone else is doing this week!
I wanted to be sure to say thank you again to everyone that takes the time to stop by and leave a comment. Your comments really make my day and I am looking forward to making many more friends this year as I continue to find incredible artists and writers through my blogland rambles.

Julia,
this is not only charming and beautiful, but the love your feel is so tangible in your art. How wonderful to frame this and put it on the wall!I am so happy for the love you have found.
happy new year to you and yours!
Hi Julia,
I hope your new year has started off well. I LOVE your new blog layout. It's perfect for you. :)
And your sketch is oh so precious. LOVE the feeling I get from it. Hugs!!
i love these :-) i was all snuggled up to my husband just like that b4 i left for work!! Happy New Year!
The surrounding and the scenery outside the window makes it perfect for love..
The way you wrote the line in your work..very artistic..
Happy New Year :)
Ah Julia! I'm so happy to have inspired you, this is gorgeous! She even looks like me. ;) A very happy new year to you, may it be filled with love. xx
Aaaaawwwww! This is lovely. What a great sentiment. Don't you find yourself creating freely when you are most happy? You know there are some artists who create when their life is in chaos and filled with sorrow. I on the other hand can't start to create unless my heart is at peace. I may be sad in the middle of it but to start, I have to be happy or content. I think that you may be the same. Your work evokes contentment and peace. Happy Sunday, Julia.
P.S. Loving the new blog look.
Julia,
Happy New Year my friend, Let me begin by saying what a pleasure it has been to meet you anf see your beautiful artowrk and read your words this year! So a very big happy new year to you!

This is such a sweet art work. I also love all the line details in the chair.
Aw that's so romantic, it made me want to cuddle my sweetie and so I did! I think it's the perfect picture to hang on the wall. Happy New Year to you my friend.
so very sweet! love the swirls of the chair details
Yikes Heather, this is supposed to be me and my sweetie...maybe I need to make the guy more masculine. He does have a shadow of a beard, but it didn't come through very strong in the picture - I'll have to make it darker...
thanks for all your sweet comments! I can't wait to find a frame for this piece!

There is so much I love about this piece! The colors, the words, and the detail on the couch, are just a few! I wish you a happy and healthy new year!
What a beautiful piece! I love the color palette. The patterns you've included give this such a delicate and magical atmosphere. I love the poses of the characters and the way you've drawn the girl's hair!
Happy New Year Julia. Beautifully done, such a sweet picture with so much feeling in it.
Happy New Year to you! Lovely piece makes me feel very blissful and serene.

Happy New Year Julie! I adore this sketch. You look so cozy! So sweet!
WOW!!!Julie this is just beautiful! The pose and the look of bliss on her/your face, just perfect. I really like your work that was inspired by Lisa Lectura too. I agree she is an amazing artist and you did a wonderful piece inspired by her!!! In the time that I have followed your blog this past year I have seen your art blossom and grow, you have a style that is unique to you. So wonderful to see!!! Thank you for your lovely encouragement and support this last year and I look forward to this years creative adventure with you :0)
I managed to finish my painting of 'resolutions' and it's now on my blog if you'd like to see how it turned out!

Hi Julia! Thanks so much for your message. I've always used blogger's links bar to follow, but I've added a follow gadget to the right sidebar of my blog (first thing on it), since I suppose that's a bit confusing! I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any problems with it. :)
This is really nice. I would love a peaceful day like this! I love the colors. They look so happy!
Ooooh, it's so beautiful - both the drawing and the sentiment! It is such a sweet painting - thank you for sharing and HAPPY NEW YEAR, xoxo
Hi Julia,
thanks for your sweet message, you are at the top of my list for the next blog award, I promise, you so deserve one! xxoo
